Right to Life has asked the following seven questions of Jan Logie Spokesperson for the NZ Green Party, on among other things, Women and Rainbow issues. From the Green’s website this is what Jan Logie has to say about herself: ” I am passionate about reducing inequality, eliminating violence and promoting participation in society, locally and globally.”

Pity that generosity of spirit does not seem to extend to the right to life of the unborn child.

Here are our questions to her: We will keep you posted as to what response we get from her.

1 Why are the Greens seeking to establish 20 weeks as a cut off point. What happens at 20 weeks in the development of the child that requires this limit?

2 Are you planning a restrictive bubble around abortion clinics where no one may enter to pray, protest or to offer women seeking an abortion assistance?

3 What action will the law require when doctors refuse to refer a woman seeking an abortion to another doctor who will perform the abortion? [Read more…]

Right to Life advises that a similar letter has been posted to every Green and Labour MP

Mr Russell Norman MP,

Parliament Building,

Wellington.

Dear Mr Norman

Euthanasia – Conscience Issue

We are aware that it is the intention of Maryan Street to return her bill, “End of Life Choice” bill to the ballot following the general election. This contentious bill may or may not be drawn during the term of the next Parliament.

Euthanasia is about doctors killing or assisting in the suicide of their patients. Both are serious crimes, found in the Crimes Act 1961, Part V III, Crimes Against the Person. The former under section 160 Culpable Homicide. The latter under section 179.

(1) Homicide may be either culpable or not culpable.

(2) Homicide is culpable when it consists in the killing of any person—

(a) by an unlawful act; or

(b) by an omission without lawful excuse to perform or observe any legal duty; or

(c) by both combined; or

(d)by causing that person by threats or fear of violence, or by deception, to do an act which causes his or her death; or

(e)by wilfully frightening a child under the age of 16 years or a sick person.

(3)Except as provided in section 168, culpable homicide is either murder or manslaughter.

(4)Homicide that is not culpable is not an offence.

Section 179: Every one is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years who;

(a) Incites, counsels, or procures any person to commit suicide, if that person commits or attempts to commit suicide in consequence thereof; or
(b) Aids or abets any person in the commission of suicide .

These laws are there to protect the vulnerable in society. Euthanasia is a conscience issue. Should the bill of Maryan Street be introduced to the Parliament, I would be grateful if you would assist us by advising where your conscience stands, by responding to the following questions.

Do you support in principle the Crimes Act being amended to allow for euthanasia?

Would you personally vote for the “End of Life Choices” bill to be passed into law?

The Green Party has declared support for decriminalising abortion. This is bad news for women and their precious unborn. The decriminalising of abortion would mean that it would no longer be a crime to kill an unborn child. An abortion would be at the request of a woman for any reason or no reason. The Green Party was successful in a coalition government with Labour in Victoria and Tasmania in decriminalising abortion, which effectively means that in those Australian states, an abortion is available on request for the full nine months of pregnancy.

The first and only duty of government is to legislate for the protection of the right to life of all its members and not to preside over their destruction. The Green Party has now abdicated its duty to protect our unborn children, the weakest and most defenceless members of our human family and has now made itself unfit to be in government.

Right to Life believes that many citizens will be repulsed by the Green’s adoption of a culture of death and will be apprehensive of voting for Labour in the belief that Labour could be enticed into supporting the Green’s sinister proposal. Right to Life requests that the Labour Party now makes a public commitment not to enter into any coalition agreement with the Greens to decriminalise the killing of the unborn.

The Greens have declared war on women. There are 200 million women missing in the world today because of sex selection abortions. The current abortion legislation protects women by making it unlawful to kill a child in the womb because it is not the desired sex. The Greens now want to legalise the killing of female children in the womb because they are not the desired sex, this is monstrous. Just how does the Green’s represent the best interest of women?

The Abortion Law Reform Association of NZ (ALRANZ) recently published “16 Reasons to Change NZ’s Abortion Laws”, as part of a campaign to lobby on this issue in the upcoming parliamentary elections in New Zealand.

As an advocacy group, we leave the wider abortion debate to others. Our focus is on the rights of the Down syndrome community and prenatal discrimination. But when a group walks head-on into a campaign that tramples over the rights of our community, we will have something to say.

ALRANZ are a small group of extreme abortion advocates who want abortion on request up to birth in New Zealand without restrictions. They support disability selective abortion under the all encompassing “for any reason”. Let’s take a look at their “reasons” for wanting to change New Zealand Law.

It punishes dissenters.” Equalities laws, she said, promised a utopia of peaceful coexistence, but the reality is “in fact leads to the beginning of tyranny.” – in commenting on the notorious “Sexual Orientation Regulations” of the Equality Act 2007.
